On The Point Of Departure
Alexis & Me – Part I Chapter 2 This chapter is a fascinating précis in and of itself about the origins of American society, law, culture, and habit. Alexis defines the various distinct regions of the country as it was founded, and the origins of the peoples who settled it. It is in this chapter that he really sets America apart from its [...]
Congratulations Bill Flores!
Congratulations to Bill Flores – Republican Nominee for the District 17 Congressional Seat! We now have someone to run against Chet Edwards, and he’s a fine candidate against which the candle of Edwards pales.

No blank check? Bill Flores uses his acronym “ROPE” to describe Reid, Obama, Pelosi, and Edwards. And he claims we didn’t give them a blank check in his latest mail piece: Monday, the Curnock campaign released its latest Radio ad: ‘Voting Record’ Now, if you don’t vote, you give the victors a free ride. And, as my dad always says, [...]
Tea Party Leader Endorses Rob Curnock for District 17 Congressional Seat
Write-ins will recall that back in February I met with Bill Flores’ Rookie Campaign Manager Matt Mackowiak under dubious circumstances. During that conversation, I advised him to get Bill acquainted with a local businesswoman, which he said he would – and didn’t do. I also advised him to get to know the Tea Party leaders: Angie Cox of [...]
